The Stanford Arts Institute offers the interdisciplinary Honors in the Arts program, which is open to undergraduates in all majors. Upon acceptance to the program and successful completion of a capstone project integrating a broad arts perspective, students will receive “Honors in the Arts."

The program features two tracks:

• Interdisciplinary honors within the arts—for students majoring in an arts discipline who wish to incorporate other arts disciplines into their work. Students in this track are typically majors in a department such as Art and Art History; departments within the Division of Languages, Cultures, and Literatures; English; Music; or Theater and Performance Studies, who wish to do an honors project involving approaches from another arts field.
• Interdisciplinary honors for non-arts majors—for students majoring in a non-arts discipline who complete a capstone project incorporating the arts. Students in this track are typically majors in a department other than those described above, who wish to do an honors project involving an arts element. This project should incorporate themes, discourse, or learning from a student’s major.

In order to receive honors in the arts, students admitted into the program will complete a capstone project as the culmination of three quarters of honors workshop classes. Capstone projects can be either scholarly / research projects involving a historical / theoretical approach or creative projects involving an arts practice element.
